What her chart says about her

  1. Who she is

    Sun in Leo, the Bright One

    Generous, loyal and born for a stage of some kind. Wants to be proud of the work and the people around her. Serious from early on: purpose and duty are one thing to her, and she treats her own life as work to be done well.

    The Sun conjunction Saturn (wide at 3.5°)

  2. What she needs

    Moon in Virgo or Libra, the Mender

    Feels calm when things are in order and useful. Shows care through small, practical help.

    For a birth after 8:49 p.m., her Moon was in Libra.

  3. How she loves

    Venus in Cancer, the Nurturer

    Shows love by looking after people. Needs a partner who feels like a safe harbour. A graceful mind: she speaks kindly and well, and she knows how to say a hard thing gently.

    Mercury sextile Venus (close at 2.8°)

  4. How she thinks

    Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst

    Precise, practical and clever. Notices the detail everyone else missed. Sharp words and a sharp mind: she argues well, sometimes too well, and a debate is a kind of sport to her.

    Mercury square Mars (close at 1.1°)

  5. What drives her

    Mars in Gemini, the Multitasker

    Restless, quick and clever. Does several things at once and wins with words. Her drive and her discipline work together easily: she can push hard and keep going.

    Mars sextile Saturn (almost exact at 0.2°)

  6. The shape of her chart

    Mars is the hub of her chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so her drive touches everything else in it.
